After the disappointing performance of "War 2", Yash Raj Films (YRF) is taking measures to ensure the success of its upcoming spy film "Alpha". According to reports, Aditya Chopra is overseeing crucial revisions to the screenplay and execution of the film, which is directed by Shiv Rawail. The changes aim to meet studio expectations and restore faith in YRF's Spy Universe brand.
Industry insiders are questioning whether Shiv Rawail, a relatively inexperienced director, is equipped to handle a marquee project like "Alpha". The concerns arise after the missteps attributed to Ayan Mukerji, director of "War 2". With Aditya Chopra taking a more hands-on role, the studio is hoping to salvage the project and make it a success.
The film features Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, with Bobby Deol playing the main antagonist. Deol's character trains Alia Bhatt's character before turning into her enemy. Fans got a glimpse of Alpha in "War 2's" post-credit scene, where Bobby Deol made his entry into the YRF Spy Universe. The movie is set to premiere on Christmas 2025.
The success of "Alpha" is crucial for YRF's Spy Universe brand, which has faced setbacks with "War 2". With Aditya Chopra's guidance, the studio is hoping to restore faith in the franchise and make "Alpha" a blockbuster hit.
